Re: credits?

To go along with what Buddy said, if your team is registered on Autodesk's FIRST site, you can download this year's Combustion for free. I might be mistaken (they did it last year, though later in the season).
But if all you want to do is make credits in 2d, and you don't want to bother getting Combustion, you can use Premiere or Final Cut or any other video editing software. And the secret is...no one will know the difference.

And for text in 3dsmax, the text object in 2d shapes is really the way to go. I don't think you want to waste too much time on creating separate text shapes that might not come out just right. And I'm pretty sure you get your choice of font too (don't hold me to it).
